Traveler reviews
Highly recommended
It was an excellent trip showing the most beautiful and historical places in Geneva. Our guide Arnaud was fantastic, he presented tour of the city in a very catching manner. Very impressive!
It was great seeing the...
It was great seeing the sights but the bus air conditioner was really not the best . It was blazing hot there.
Was not worse the time and money
It wasn’t great tour. The bus tour it self took only 1 hour and then we have to get out of the bus and go to a different small chu chu train. that you can take itself without a bus tour. It wasn’t very interesting tour, covers a small portion of the city
Fell Short
This generally fell short of expectations. It was hard to hear the guide on the bus. Unclear why the bus could not have taken us back closer to our point of origin—or the dock for those taking the optional boat trip. The boat ride was the best part of the tour.
New & Old City Experience
Very good overall experience. Original tour was booked many months ago and the day before we were due to take the tour we were fortunate enough to receive a message from the operator that the tour at 10am no longer operated, but the tour now operated at 2.15pm. Tour was very informative and gave a very good overview of the international area on the air conditioned coach. The "train" tour of the old city showed the amazing architecture and character of that area. Rather disappointed that the tour offered a 45 minute stop at the Cathedral in the Old City, but the actual train ride did not stop to allow guests to get off to visit the cathedral.
